HEALTH OFFICE

Ryan Nena is a free
health clinic located in Room 128. There
is a full-time nurse on duty during regular school hours. It is strongly recommended that you register
with Ryan Nena so that your child may receive free health services (physicals,
vaccinations, prescriptions).

If a student becomes sick or injured, he/she will be sent to
the health office. Parents may be
requested to come and pick up a student at that time. P.S. 64 reserves the right to call 911 in the
event of a medical emergency.

If a child has an illness or chronic medical condition it is
the parent’s responsibility to notify the school and provide the necessary
documentation and medication. Students
who are required to take any form of medication (prescribed by a doctor or
over-the-counter) must take the medication to the health office when they
arrive at school. A note from the
parent/doctor as to how the medication is to be administered must accompany the
medication and a 504 may be required.
Students will report to the health office to take all medication.

Emergency information cards (blue cards) are
to be filled out each school year.
During the school year if changes are made at your place of employment,
telephone number, or alternate contacts, please call the school office (212)
673-6510, so that the emergency card can be updated. It is important that all information on the
emergency cards is completed accurately.
